Lyrics

But there are winds foreboding and there is a dark storm that soon will pass.

Kiss me my love, then gothe time for butter has returned again.

I threw the knifeKeep machine gun

Biting Through the dog nest
Alice Evil
Silly musk person

Friendship forged in battleWatch your bags, Nall!They peed!

Hey Hey! Hey Hey!

COMBAT TIMMY!

Biting through the dog nestAll is emosilly musk person

Flying toward the towel that enslaves usyet we are not dumb.

Racist! For the climates at the butter to return to Lum

Ghaleon gets some Pow Woodevil horses!

They peed!

When all the land is peaceful
and there is no
real threat to us at last.

Then comes the time for love
two hearts colliding
into one great hymn.

But there are winds foreboding
and there is a
dark storm that soon will pass.

Kiss me my love, then go
the time for
valor has returned again.

On through the night
Keep marching on...

Fighting
Through the darkness
All is evil
still we must press on

Friendship
forged in battle
watch your backs now
take heed!

Hey Hey! Hey Hey!

Come back to me...

Fighting
Through the darkness
All is evil
still we must press on

Flying
toward the power
that enslaves us
yet we are not done.

Racing
Toward the climax
of the battle
to return to love.

Valiant
'gainst the power
evil forces

take heed!

Audio Details

The song is the English version of opening theme song to the Sega CD game Lunar: The Silver Star. It was composed by CUBE. The English lyrics were written by Victor Ireland (who appears briefly in the video) and sung by Shiya Almeda. The original Japanese version was sung by Mayumi Sudou.

Trivia

Two of the characters, Nall and Ghaleon, are from the game the song is from.

This is the first animutation ever made in Sony Vegas.

Many of the images are of Neopets from the Fun Images part of the website.

The lip sync was done frame by frame in photoshop, due to the limitations of Sony Vegas.

During the first two sets of mondegreens, Nall is flying backwards.

Many of the background images were found using the random image feature on Wikipedia. Paul Luther was discovered through the random article feature.

Near the beginning there is a marquee saying "sample my goods". This is the catch phrase of White Knight Leo from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, the sequel to the game the song is from.

The pancakes are from Trigun.

One subliminal message features a visual pun, a picture of Lena Horne than a picture of Lina Inverse with a horn on her head.

Another visual pun subliminal message shows a character of the day from Trigun named Neil next to the word "Cicierega".

The most difficult to spot subliminal message is a picture of Prabhu Deva AKA "Benny Lava" flashing for a millisecond at a few points in the video.

Other subliminal images include Junji Ito, Thundergirl from Action League Now!, Jennifer (Stigile) Magallanes, and Starfy from The Legendary Starfy flashing on screen briefly.

Jennifer Magallanes appears several times in the video. Under her maiden name Jenny Stigile she was known as the singing voice for Working Designs. Fighting Through The Darkness is one of the few Working Designs song dubs that DOES NOT have Jenny singing it.

There is a scene of Livio the Double Fang talking quickly about Nall. A transcription of that scene:

"Nall is good"
"Nall is cool"
"Nall is not a cat"
"Nall bounces over the mondegreens"
"Watch your bags, Nall!"
"Nall is not good at all"
"Shut up Razlo". The last two lines are a reference to Livio's split personality, Razlo the Tri-P of death.
